[ 1 ] High Flux Steady-State Plasma Source for Integrated PMI-PFC Test Stand Yevgeny Raitses, Stewart Zweben Robert Goldston, Michael Jaworski and Randy Wilson PPPL, Princeton, New Jersey 08543, USA PMI Workshop, Julich 19-21 September, 2011
Possible Source Options for Initial Phases of Integrated PMI-PFC Test-Stand • A steady-state currentless plasma flow of energetic ions (~ 100 eV) to a floating plate • RF-Plasma + ICH/ECH heating, Plasma thrusters (Hall, MPD, Arcjet, VASIMR) • May be IDEAL or GDT or ZaP ? • Non-ambipolar plasma flow to a biased target-plate • Arc plasma sources, RF-plasma sources (helicon, ICP), DC-RF plasma sources • Heat sources • Arc discharge, neutral and electron beams GAMMA 10 E-div.
Hall thruster (HT) can source highly ionized currentless plasma flow in a broad energy range Ne ~ 5 1018 m-3 in ionization region Ion kinetic energy ~102-103eV Ion temperature ~ 1 eV Current density ~103 -104 A/m2 Steady-state operation 12 cm diam. 2 kW PPPL HT The use of Hall thruster for the small prototype test-stand would make possible to study liquid lithium wall with and without target bias
Summary • There are no readily available plasma sources for the required PMI-PFC parameters: 1 MW power flux, 10-40 MW/m2 at 1 Tesla, Deuterium, 5 s • High power source options which could be developed to match the proposed PMI-PFC test stand requirements: • GDT: could be the best way to go if it could operate 5 sec • Helicon+ICH: 1 MW, high B-field (~ 1 Tesla) Deuterium operation need to be demonstrated (Note: Ad Astra results: 200 kW at ~ 1-2 Tesla for Ar) • Arc plasma sources (Magnum or MPD types): matches all requirements including 10 MW/m2(> 1MW power level is likely feasible) • Limitation: target-plate needs to be biased • Challenges: high background pressure ~ 10 mtorr • Small scale PMI-PFC prototype test stand is proposed for internal PPPL support (not funded yet): • The prototype test stand will be modular and may use variety of plasma sources, including currentless (Hall thrusters) and non-ambipolar with biased plate (RF-plasma sources, arc discharges, arc plasma sources, electron gun)
Low energy, high flux incident ions sputter away surface layers with minimum damage to the bulk sample. • Emission spectrum is measured to determine composition, layer-by-layer. What is GDS or GDOES?

PSI-2 linear facility Re-entrant Anode IR Camera RF Source Sample • Problems: • Containment of discharge • Containment of sputtered species Laser beam Sample To Spectrometer or Filterscopes
Summary • PSI-2 can provide a good opportunity to develop GDOES as an in vacuo diagnostic for PMI applications • Sufficient literature from surface science literature and initial (ex-situ) application for fusion PMI • Port access seems sufficient for a first, rudimentary set-up • RF supplies and matching circuit element are available at ORNL RF Lab • Industrial systems already available and teaming with manufacturers possible to get custom systems. • Early proof-of-principle feasible on time to provide more complete diagnostic for JULE-PSI and ORNL-PMTS • Community participation is welcome.

Summary • Optical beam diagnostic complex was developed • New slit ion optics is introduced (June 2010) • Beam current achieved 2,8A (at 49 kV, due to HV PS power limit) • Beam diameter at 2m ~3cm along the slits • Beam species composition ~80% protons • More than 100% CXRS signal level rise • New arc-discharge element has provided 6-8 s beam duration
